    New DStv package makes sports streaming services look bad

    This is just a terrible DSTV sponsored article. They have been catching so much flak for their whole song and dance about nothing. How about doing a comparison of how much you pay for HBO content on Netflix vs DSTv...oh wait DSTv lost their contract with HBO, so they have none. Same principle.

    Netflix could be forced to carry SABC content in South Africa

    Big change at DStv

    Every myBB headline about DSTV, Canal+ or Multichoice should always just end with "but Premium scribers are still going to be screwed" Like "Big change at DSTV but Premium subscribers are still going to be screwed" Or "149 DSTV channels for R399.50 but Premium subscribers are still going to be...

    Total DStv overhaul in South Africa

    From a purely business and value extraction point of view, this change is perfect. There is a majority of the population that is only interested in soccer, .

    DStv customers lose all major HBO and Warner Bros. shows

    I have sympathy for the Premium users who have stuck it out with DSTV but the reality is that their time is over. With Multichoice having sold out to corporate greed, the reality is Canal+ has zero loyalty to Premium users. The days of Premium users getting the first and best are over, it's a...

    Continued fibre price increases over recent years have some South Africans looking into lower-priced alternatives

    But think about the poor shareholders, how are they supposed to get their money and keep their shareholding unless the FNO keep showing profit growth 🤔 Best strategy is follow the same thing the government does milk the people and give nothing in return

    Capitec warning about fraudsters spoofing their caller IDs

    With all the scam, marketing, spam, robo and AI it's no wonder no one wants to answer their phones. Banks are going to have to change their strategy about closing branches because we are heading for a circle back to in person banking because you can't trust digital

    Makate had to swear to an affidavit from Sun City to oppose Black Rock's claim

    This is next level click bait headline. I'm starting to wonder how far MBB journalists are willing to stoop for clicks. Also shame on me for falling for it

    DStv Premium lets six people watch on different screens until January

    The only "good new" DSTv subscribers could only possibly want to hear is that Supersport is a separate bundle now for R400/pm and the don't have to pay for the endless repeats. Everything else is just regurgitation of Multichoice corporate vomit

    On the flip side if these guys didn't drive like they had a death wish, we would of been reading an article about how "How Sixty60 drivers are being targeted at traffic lights by thieves"
